Winemaker’s Comments: The 1992 vintage saw cool but dry days in April producing fruit with slightly more raisining than botrytis infection. Sporadic rains during May provided the necessary humidity to advance the botrytis at a very late stage. Hand picking began on 22nd April for a short period and was then halted for two weeks before recommencing in May and continuing with selective pickings until June 1.
